Abstract: The invention relates to device (1; 1') for closing a natural or artificial anus, comprising an inflatable balloon (2) with an approximately toroidal structure made from a flat tube section, which is turned inside out and whose both ends (7, 8) extend coaxially into one another and are each joined to a sleeve (9). The outer layer (5) of the tube section that is turned inside out has a radially enlarged, patient-proximal area (3) for inserting into the rectum and has a patient-distal area (11, 7, 8), which is tapered thereto and which remains, at least in areas, outside of the rectum during use. The tube sections have, in the transanal area (11, 7, 8), a material hardness H1 of greater than 60 according to Shore hardness test A. According to the invention, a stiffening sleeve (14) is placed inside the interrectal area (3) of the inner layer (5) in such a manner that this sleeve is completely separated from the hollow space (10) inside the balloon (2) by its inner penetrable layer (5).

Abstract: A method for estimating a size of reverse link resources provided by a base-station transceiver system (BTS), including performing respective first, second, and third measurements of first, second, and third signal strengths received at the BTS. The method also includes comparing the first measurement with the second measurement so as to determine an initial minimum signal strength, and adding at a predetermined time an aging value to the initial minimum signal strength so as to form an updated minimum signal strength. The method further includes forming a comparison between the updated minimum signal strength and the third measurement, determining from the comparison a minimum of the updated minimum signal strength and the third measurement to be a minimum received signal strength, and determining the size of the reverse link resources provided by the BTS in response to the minimum received signal strength.

Abstract: Compartmentalized chips of at least two chemically similar crystallizable thermoplastic polymers each having a different intrinsic viscosity placed in separate zones are disclosed. These compartmentalized chips exhibit thermal and rheological characteristics that are different from the traditional technique of homogeneously combining the two materials into the chip. These compartmentalized chips in their amorphous, crystalline and solid phase polymerized forms exhibit a longer crystallization half time than the homogeneous mixture, thus permitting faster injection cycle times for an equivalent homogenous mixtures.
